Garvin Session 1 Journal
As I look back at my life and try and determine what specific event or experience that changed me and directed me towards a collegiate goal, I have a hard time deciding which one it might be.

I had an all expensed paid trip to party as far as I was concerned. Long story short, I met my wife two weeks in, who is a Christian and we were married two months after that. Shortly after we were pregnant. GARVIN SESSION 1
